First Alert Weather Days: Next three nights below 32 degrees
Friday: First Alert Weather Day, rain in the forecast

Warmer weather finally returns on Thursday with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 60s.

Friday will bring our next round of rain, as a cold front approaches from the west. Rain will continue Friday night before tapering down early on Saturday. Highs Friday will top out in the middle 60s.

The weekend will trend drier with seasonal 60s on Saturday and chillier 50s on Sunday and both nights look cold with lows near 32 degrees.
